Museum Exhibitions

All items sold on this website are reproductions (replicas). All Bone Clones® products are made in the USA. No real or natural bone material is available on this site.

Bone Clones® are playing a significant role in museum exhibits, and becoming a part of the modern collections of these museums. Realistic detail, durable materials, and an extensive and varied collection of Human and Zoological reproductions make them an ideal choice in lieu of real bone skeletal displays.

The Cimmarusti Science Center at Glendale Community College: We worked collaboratively with the College to design an exhibit titled "The Hidden Structures of Life." The exhibit used several of our skulls and skeletons to teach young students about the lifestyles of extinct and extant animals.

Curators of The Western Science Center's temporary exhibit – Stepping Out of the Past, an exhibit on human origins, humanity and our ancestors, developed in collaboration with Mt. San Jacinto College – made extensive use of our fossil hominid and primate skulls, including a case study on Shanidar 1, a Neanderthal who lived to old age despite numerous injuries.

Two key activity centers in the exhibit also featured our products: • An immersive cave experience based on La Grotte Chauvet in France featured our Cave Bear skull and an opportunity to leave chalk "cave drawings" on an installed chalkboard.

• A popular interactive "dig-site sandbox" featured an identification guide and partial craniums of Australopithecus (Paranthropus) boisei and homo habilis skulls to highlight hominin diversity at Olduvai Gorge, and the 'fragmentary' nature of most hominin remains from which identification can be made and relationships and behaviors inferred.
